Semiya/Vermicelli Fruit custard is an excellent and easy dessert with simple ingredients. It is a great way to enjoy all the seasonal fruits along with dry fruits. I used Bajra vermicelli for this recipe and it turned out so yummy!

- 1 Tsp Custard Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Cardamom Powder
- 1/4 Cup each Chopped fruits (banana, apple, pomegranate)
Directions:
